<a href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/black-glamour-power-before-beyonce-and-lupita-nyongo/">Black Glamour Power</a> - a Collectors Weekly interview with Nichelle Gainer of Vintage Black Glamour <small>(<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/108895/Vintage-Black-Glamour">previously</a>)</small>: "A lot of people think of vintage black pictures as either civil-rights photos or black ladies at church, or maybe sharecroppers picking in the cotton fields and sweating from the hard work. That's fine. Those are our pictures. But that shouldn't be the only image of us. It's nice to see a black woman who is not sweating in the field, but glistening from all this bling, like Josephine Baker, dripping in diamonds. Sometimes you want to see that. Why not? It's easy to take glamour for granted. You can be a white woman, and you can care less about Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, and Marlene Dietrich, and that's fine. But you know what? Black women haven't had the same option." "...I feel like Vintage Black Glamour expands the definition of glamour, and that was always my intention. For example, I put Judge Jane Bolin on my site. She's very popular, the first black woman appointed to a bench in New York State. She was on the bench until she was 70, the mandatory retirement age. People would say she's attractive, but she wasn't a movie star or even glamorous dresser. However, the nature of a black woman judge in the 1930s or '40s is glamorous to me.
To me, glamour is when you're able to operate in the world with a certain level of dignity. So that applies whether they're leaders in civil rights, literature, or art."

Washington Post - <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/vintage-black-glamour-assures-a-spot-in-history-for-early-black-celebrity/2014/04/25/491ad5f2-97fc-11e3-8461-8a24c7bf0653_story.html">'Vintage Black Glamour' assures a spot in history for early black celebrity</a>: "Gainer deftly illustrates the racial politics that determined so much about their careers through her collection of carefully curated historic images of the black creative class."
